The unexpected death of Michel Jackson announced to the world on Friday from suspected cardiac arrest came as a great shock to everyone. Thoughts now turn to Michael Jackson’s funeral and when it will take place.

Paramedics were called to the singer’s Beverly Hills home around noon Thursday after he stopped breathing. But two hours later, Jackson was pronounced dead at the UCLA medical center.

Michel Jackson was set to do a comeback tour consisting of 50 days at Wembley. The world had gone wild with excitement at the thought of this, but now he was facing a huge disappointment. Many people see the world of music as a different place without the presence of Jackson, who is seen as the King of Pop.

Tributes have poured in from other big names, including Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley. Sir Paul McCartney described Jackson’s death as “sad and shocking”. Many people have said that Michael Jackson’s funeral will be even bigger than Elvis and Princess Diana’s. It is estimated that up to a million fans will flock from around the world to attend Jackson’s funeral. The family is said to be considering whether to hold a private funeral followed by a publicly broadcast remembrance ceremony later this week.

There is also talk that Jackson will be buried at his Neverland Ranch after he expressed to his family the wishes that he wanted to be. The only problem with being buried at Neverland is that there is currently no permit to be buried on private property and there are also fears that the two-lane road to Neverland will not cope with such an influx of traffic. Another option would be to bury him in Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn Cemetery, where movie legends like Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable and Jean Harlow are buried.

Michael Jackson’s funeral is currently being decided as his casket is under armed guard at a secret location in Los Angeles after the family ordered a second autopsy. As more news about the exact funeral arrangements is released, more posts will be made to update the situation. Be sure to keep watching this blog for the most current updates.
